Team '''ratings''' (not be confused with [[player]] ratings or [[stars]]) shown how your team performed during a match in the 7 sectors (3 of attack, 3 of defence and 1 of midfield). These ratings at the end of the [[match report]] are average ratings for the entire match time - you can view more accurate 5-minute intervals ratings by clicking on the Reviews Details tab.
Collectively, the ratings are often called [[Attack ratings]], [[Defence ratings]] and Midfield ratings.
== In match report ==
After each match, you will be able to read both teams' ratings on the full [[match report]]. Based on text, you can check how well or poorly the team performed.
Each rating is composed of two values:
Each rating is composed of two values:
* Primary Value - Classified using the same scale used to measure players abilities (e.g. weak)
* Primary Value - Classified using the same scale used to measure players abilities (e.g. outstanding)
* Secondary Value - One of four possible values: very low, low, high, very high.
* Secondary Value - One of four possible values: very low, low, high, very high.
This gives you an indication of how strong or weak any of the seven areas of your team play were during this match. If your [[midfield]] was stronger than your opponent's (e.g. "passable" vs. "weak") then chances are you had more time of [[possession]] and thus more chances to score. The defensive and attacking ratings can be compared according to spatial logic (e.g. [[Left Attack]] vs. [[Right Defence]]).
If your midfield was stronger than your opponent's (e.g. "outstanding" vs. "excellent") then you had more ball [[possession]] and thus probably more chances to score. The defensive and attacking ratings can be compared according to spatial logic (e.g. Left Attack vs. Right Defence).
Collectively, the ratings are often called [[Attack ratings]] and [[Defence ratings]]
==Power Rating==
{{Main|Power Rating}}
Ratings can express the overall strength of the team and Hattrick provides a way to easily measure it: Power Rating, launched in 2020, was created to compare two teams or assess the progress of a team.
It's always worth remembering that an overall rating which is higher than your opponents does not mean that you will win the
match.

Before that, primitive measure were used: total number of [[stars]] players gained after playing a match, a slightly inefficient and possibly deceiving way of recording team strength.
